Disclaimer: Nope, don't own Vampire Knight.
So I spent today,
just thinking of ways that I could make that smile shine,
cause she's sweet on me, oh I'll make her see
That she's mine, all mine.
-Uptown, Get Around by Stereo Skyline
'but she was different. He felt a strange magnetic attraction the moment he sensed her aura. He knew he had to stop thinking of her… but to him, she was just too irresistible.'
Day class had ended and Yuuki was already at the gates near the Moon dorms, doing her duties as a prefect panicking as a mob of girls almost attacked her. Where was Zero? She needed him badly to scare off the crazy fangirls before they crush her to death.
Zero knew he had to go and help Yuuki since the fangirls would crush her. Poor Yuuki. But he stood there where he had met Harumi, a pureblood whom he willingly gave his blood to. He was confused as to why he did it. He involuntarily touched his lips. Then he remembered that she also kissed him. The kiss was short and sweet. He would be lying if he said he hated it. Maybe he wanted more; he wanted to kiss her again, to feel her lips once more.
But damn, he needed to stop thinking about her. She was a pureblood, and he despised them. He had to stop the feelings growing inside him...
Before he starts falling for her.
For the first time since her parents died, Harumi woke up from a relaxing dreamless sleep. She sat up dazed, trying to remember what happened before she fell asleep. The memories flooded as she remembered every single detail and a small smile escaped her lips. She stood up and examined her surroundings, the room was relatively big and homey, something she missed ever since her parents died which left her home with a feeling of emptiness.
Realizing that the sun was setting and night class was about to start, she checked the closet to see if there was a uniform in there for her. And there neatly hanged were several sets of the night class uniform ready for her to wear.
She headed to the bathroom and took a shower and brushed her teeth, which she admired for being so pearly white. She then dressed up in one of the uniforms in the closet. After putting on everything, she wore her knee-high boots and checked herself in the full-size mirror. She debated with herself how to tie her hair. She gave up and left her hair as is.
She heard a knock on the door, probably to call for her.
"Come in." She said, after unlocking the door and going back to check herself in the mirror once again.
The door opened revealing a very enthusiastic Takuma. "Harumi-chan! Everyone's waiting at the foyer."
"Oh sorry, I'm ready so let's go now" she said, mirroring the smile Takuma had.
"I shall be your escort to the foyer, my princess." Takuma said while bowing and acting like a gentleman he is yet a bit jokingly at the same time.
This earned a light laugh from Harumi as she held out her hand and said "I'm glad."
Takuma took her hand and kissed it before leading her out to the foyer. The both of them giggling and laughing on the way there.
They reached the foyer and indeed, everyone was there either lounging on the sofas or leaning on the walls. Kaname on the other hand was halfway down the stairs leaning on the railings. Seems like he was waiting for her. She let go of Takuma after thanking him and approached Kaname.
"Hello Kaname-kun, I'm sorry I was late." She said to him.
Kaname smiled. "You're actually just in time Harumi. Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, I did. Thank you for your concern."
"Let's go then. Harumi, stay beside me." he said while descending down the stairs and stopping just near the door with her close by. "Oh, and I must warn you it gets a little chaotic outside." he added just before he went outside.
"Chaotic?" Harumi questioned just before she and the others followed him.
Just as they stepped outside, she heard a lot of screaming and such. And there near the gate she saw a lot of girls going crazy and a few boys too. She wondered if they were like this everyday and why they were like this. She looked around at the vampires around her and sighed. It's probably because all of the vampires here were undeniably handsome and gorgeous; they all looked otherworldly to humans. If only they knew how dangerous they really are.
She noticed the two people blocking them off, the school's prefects. She noticed Kaname going towards the girl and followed him because she knew Zero would be there too and she wanted to meet the other prefect as well. She watched as Kaname and the girl exchange smiles and words before introducing herself.
"You must be Tsukino-sama, I'm Yuuki Cross, I'm one of the school's prefect." she politely said.
Harumi had stared at her for quite a while surprised because she looked oddly familiar yet she couldn't really tell who.
"Um. No need for formalities, Yuuki-chan. Just call me Harumi." She said with a smile yet still really confused.
"Harumi, let's get going then." she heard Kaname say.
"Please wait a bit." She told him before walking towards Zero, who was apparently staring at her. This caused Kaname to sigh and he tried to hold in a scowl. He didn't want Harumi close to Zero.
"Hey Zero-kun." She cheerfully said. She was a bit drawn to him. She really wasn't sure as to why she is.
Zero snapped out of his daze and ignored her. She was already stuck inside his head. Having to see her and hear her voice too much. He needed to keep his distance to avoid losing his sanity.
Harumi's smile faltered at Zero's coldness. She thought it was either he was too shy or he just plain hated her. She wouldn't blame him if he hated her. His family was killed by a pureblood and he was turned into a vampire by one as well. She just hoped he would give her a chance.
"Oh. Anyway, I'll see you around." She said quite dejectedly yet she still forced a smile.
"…s-See you around." Zero didn't really want to say that. It just went out of his mouth. He wanted to hate her so badly but she made it hard to do so.
Harumi smiled. Maybe he doesn't really hate her after all. She then followed Kaname and made their way to the classrooms.
Class ended and everyone was back at the Moon dorms except for Kaname and Harumi who was still inside the classroom. Harumi remained seated at her chair and gazed at the moon, it was a full moon tonight causing the light to shine on her. 'Something the sun cannot do' she thought. The full moon always made her long for the sun, to be able to walk underneath it and to feel its warmth without prickling her skin too much and possibly burn her. Yet she also loved the silver shine of the moon. In a cloudless sky, it brightens up the night and leaves the world in silvery blanket.
Kaname was leaning against a desk, watching Harumi as she stared out the window. He couldn't leave her here by herself but he also enjoyed watching her. The silver moon's light shining upon her leaving her with such ethereal elegance. She was indeed very beautiful. She had a very powerful presence yet he knew she was fragile. That's why he'll protect her at any cost, because she was his.
"Kaname-kun, hasn't anybody told you it's rude to stare at others?" She asked him jokingly, her eyes meeting his.
"With a beauty like yours, Harumi, it's hard not to." He said, his eyes still fixed on hers. Her face flushed red at his comment and tried to hide it by looking out the window once again.
"It's getting pretty late; let's go back to the dorms." He told her. She quietly stood up and followed him still embarrassed about earlier.
He stopped walking and asked her, "Harumi, will you stop by my room for a while?"
"Um, Okay. I will." she said to him as they made their way back to the Moon dorms.
